Abstract:
This book is a quantitative study into the influence of the process of industrialization on the nature and strength of family relationships in a Dutch community between 1850 and 1920. There are two main sets of theoretical focal points. The first one is structural-functionalist theory assuming an inevitable causality between the more loosely knit nuclear family system and industrial society. The second set consists of historical assumptions about the resilience and tenacity of family relationships. The study makes use of the unique and unusually rich source of Dutch population registers, so that successive cohorts of the families can be tracked down from the formation of the family household until its dissolution. Family aspects such as extended kin co-residence, family care for the elderly and the pattern by which children break away from their parents are examined in the light of the transformation of the local society. The study closely relates aspects of family and household with the social processes characteristic of an industrializing society, such as increasing rates of social and geographical mobility and the shift of production from the home into the factory. Results reveal a striking continuity in the strength of nineteenth-century family relations despite the gradual but profound process of social change surrounding these families. Changes in behavioural patterns did occur, however, under the influence of changes in demographic rates, regional geographical mobility systems and local developments in the housing market. Nevertheless, these changes cannot be taken as a weakening of family relationships.
